Andy Robertson believes Liverpool’s title mettle shone through against Tottenham.
Sunday’s last-minute win over the Londoners saw the Reds side replace Manchester City at the Premier League’s summit with six games remaining.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have now scored seven late goals this season, culminating in three victories, as they bid to secure a first league title since 1990.
And Robertson has hailed Liverpool’s strength of character in extending their unbeaten home record to 37 games – a feat only surpassed by Chelsea.
He said: “I think it comes from the whole squad having the right attitude and belief that we are good enough to win any game.
“We knew Tottenham were playing well in the second half but we still believed we were better and could go on and win the game.
“We know we’ve got the energy and we know we’ve got the heart to go right until the end in every single game.
“Our fitness levels are the best they should be at this point of the season so we know we can go right to the end. But sometimes you just need that wee bit of luck and we got it.
“Even when we were going through the tough times in the second half, we still believed we were going to win the game and that’s the mentality we have.
“It maybe didn’t look likely at times but three points and looking at the league table is all that matters.
“Performances don’t really matter at this point of the season as long as we win.”
Robertson’s assist for Roberto Firmino’s opener was his ninth of the season, putting him one behind Ryan Fraser and two away from Eden Hazard.
But the Scotland captain is hoping to add more to his tally before the season it out.
“It’s a nice feeling,” he added.
“But I won’t enjoy that until the end of the season because I want nine to become 10, 10 to become 11.
“That’s the attitude I want to keep producing and hopefully get more assists and maybe pitch in with a goal or two – but that doesn’t look likely!
“I’m just happy to help create goals or score goals and this season I’ve put in some good crosses and the quality has been there
“But I just need more and six games to go hopefully I can get a couple more.”
